Barbershop provides free haircuts for first responders

By Brittany Anderson

September 11, 2001 is a date that most Americans will never forget — and one local barbershop has made it their mission to honor the lives lost and sacrifices made by first responders on this day in the way they know best.

Gentlemen’s Grooming 101 held their annual 9/11 Commemorative Free Haircut event on Sept. 7. Owners Chris Ortiz and Tony Arredondo, alongside the rest of their team, have put on the event for several years to show appreciation for first responders by providing them with a simple but necessary service, completely for free.
